SWING THEORY

SWING THEORY

[1998]

Another work involving scaffolding, Swing Theory premiered in the great hall of the National Gallery of Canada. Four dancers negotiate the unyielding metal framework, accompanied by photographic images, an original score and a live jazz band.

Co-production with the National Arts Centre, the Banff Centre, and the Canada Dance Festival

“A set of metal scaffolding 30 feet high becomes the playground for dancers and musicians in this highly athletic adventure that redefines the body in space. It was a beautiful, powerful and sometimes nerve-wracking performance.”
